July 9, 9:00 am |

The Art Studio |
| Details: |
 Take advantage of this unique opportunity to make art in the outdoors, surrounded by wildflowers, trees, and breathtaking landscape. During a moderate hike through the wildflowers, local artist Ivy Walker, leads you through making temporary works of art in the landscape, much like well-known outdoor artist, Andy Goldsworthy. Use both natural materials you find on the trail and materials brought along by the instructor. Document what you've created with a lasting photograph taken with your phone or a camera.
Need physical ability to be on and off-trail, crouching, standing, and sitting without a chair in the terrain. A portion of this workshop’s tuition is donated to 1% for Open Space for the permanent preservation of our gorgeous landscapes. Instructor: Ivy Walker.

About Ivy Walker
Ivy Walker creates temporary artworks in the land and documents these through photographs. She places handmade paper cut-outs, or other art materials, into the land to evoke a temporary, poetic presence. Her artwork explores 'the ephemeral' and how this quality, paradoxically, connects all life with the ‘Infinite’.
Walker has a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she also taught Drawing and Art Foundations as a part-time lecturer. She received a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Colorado State University. She is also a Certified Nature-Connected Coach who incorporates creating art with transformational life coaching sessions in the landscape. Recently, she has shown work at Artcorps in Pueblo and in Denver at Redline Gallery. Her work is represented by Gallery 3 in Crested Butte. For more information, go to www.ivywalker.com.
